Entering Data with ENTRY
Entering Data
resume data entry from the point where you had stopped.
If you press EXIT before pressing
Enter, data keyed into the current form is not recorded in
the batch file. When you run ENTRY again with the same forms and batch files, the last
form is redisplayed with any initial values, and you must retype the data into the form
whose data entry you interrupted in the previous session.
Terminating a Session
You can terminate ENTRY by pressing EXIT to return to MPE control. The effect is the
same as for interrupting data entry. After the MPE colon prompt (:) appears, you terminate
the session by entering the BYE command and pressing
Return, as follows:
:BYE
Unexpected Program Interruption
The program may be interrupted unexpectedly because of a power failure or because you
accidentally pressed
Break. Refer to appendix G for instructions on program recovery. Once
you have recovered, the form displayed at the time of the failure reappears, and you can
continue where you had stopped before the interruption.
